  • Bought a new guitar what do you guys think of it

I had an LTD EC-500 which is a 'cheaper' model of the Eclipse, and it was a fantastic guitar. I actually do miss it, and wish a little that I hadn't sold it. Very comfortable to play, and with the EMG's, a great tone too!

The comments about them only being perceived as metal guitars is unfortunately true, partly attributed to the EMG pups in them, but I found the EMG's to be very clean and full sounding, and great for so many other styles of music. The only 'fault' and drawback I found with them is that being active pickups, you don't get any real signs that the battery is about to go.... It just starts distorting suddenly, then shortly after dies.

Great guitar, and the ESP Eclipse I would imagine could only be even better, though the quality of my EC-500 was very very high to begin with!

G!
    It's interesting that you got a USA model here, I would've thought those would only be sold in the USA initially - may I ask where you got it?
      I only get it tomorrow so will post a pic tomorrow. that's why I ask you guys what do you think about esp guitars I got this one for a good deal but never played on a esp or ltd guitar before.
        Hmmm... don't like the colour - therefore it'll sound bad. But as long as you're happy with it
          I had an ESP Truckster for some time. (James Hetfield signature model) The Truckster is basically an Eclipse with some cosmetic work done to it. Was a brilliant quality and sounding axe. Based on my experience with one, I have the highest regard for ESP guitars... I'd buy/recommend one in a heart beat.
            Here is the pics of the guitar. The guys got it wrong cause this was made in japan just on the case it says made in the usa .

              Gold hardware? Looks nice, congrats!
                Nice! I wanted to buy one of these (second hand) just last week, but it looked too much like a scam. Where did you buy it from?

                    no I really got it for a good deal from my suppliers but I will do a recording tonight on logic pro x and let your guys hear how it sounds. I'm very impressed how the emg active pickups are.

                                Sweet. The attention to detail at ESP's Japan factory is second to none. Looks like a stunning guitar. Enjoy.
